CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG

CIVIC CENTRE GRAND OPENING Mayor Jim Memeti was thrilled to open the new civic centre. 117594 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

A DREAM 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING

By CASEY NEILL IT’S 20 years since Springvale and Dandenong became the City of Greater Dandenong.

A new civic precinct in Dandenong has been touted for almost as long.

Mayor Jim Memeti joined council in late 2005 and soon found himself on an annual councillor weekend retreat.

“And the first subject that I was in discussions with was about a new building in Dandenong,” he said.

“Every year since then, we had the same thing at the annual retreat.

“It never got off the ground, it just stopped every year.

“Some of the older councillors told me ‘This has been happening since 1997’.”

Cr Memeti was elected mayor in 2010.

“When I won the vote count in the chamber, I stood up and said ‘by the end of my term I’d like the council to make a decision on a new civic building in Dandenong’,” he said.

“The following Monday, I went into (CEO John Bennie’s) office and said, ‘I’ve said this now – what are we going to do about it?’.”

Revitalising Central Dandenong manager VicUrban,

now Places Victoria, had offered the council the Lonsdale and Walker streets site.

So Cr Memeti, Mr Bennie and corporate services director Mick Jaensch met and discussed their options.

“Mick went back and did all his homework and came back and said ’yep, we can do it’,” he said.

“Before the end of my term, we signed a memorandum of understanding that this was the site that this council building was going to be built on.

“I stuck my neck out and said all that at the council meeting, and was very fortunate that with the hard work from John Bennie and Mick Jaensch and the support from all the councillors, that we were able to sign a memorandum of understanding before the end of my term.”

Cr Memeti was lucky enough to be elected mayor again in time for the building’s opening.

“The council is owned by the community. It’s their building.

It’s a building for the community,” he said.

“It’s somewhere they can come and it’s free. It belongs to the people.”

He said the building was more energy efficient,

eliminated a costly maintenance bill for the ageing Springvale and Dandenong sites, and increased staff efficiency.

“We’ll save probably a million dollars just on efficiencies of having everyone in the one building. And they’re so happy now that they can just wander up the hall,” he said.

“That means we can do other things with the money.

“It goes back into the community.”

Cr Memeti has dubbed the space ’Opportunity Square’ but the council will turn to the community before officially naming it.

“We’re the City of Opportunity, so it wasn’t that hard to come up with,” he said.

“But everybody’s got the opportunity to suggest a name.

We don’t want it really named after a person or a country.

“It has to be something that’s going to be for everybody.”

There’ll be a competition with strict criteria and plenty of consultation.

“Hopefully, it will get people talking around their dining table at home,” Cr Memeti said.

CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG

CIVIC CENTRE GRAND OPENING

SHAPING BIG SCREEN CONTENT

By CASEY NEILL VIEWERS will shape content for the seven metre-wide digital screen in Dandenong’s new civic square.

Films, movies, gaming, arts and community features and interactive initiatives are all on the cards once the screen is switched on at the precinct’s opening celebrations on 12 April.

“We’ll have to determine what the community wants on the screen, what they’re interested in seeing,” communications and customer service manager Kylie Sprague said.

“We’ve got some special material for the launch that’s been organised.

“And the night of the launch we’ve got the family movie The Lorax showing.

Ms Sprague said City of Greater Dandenong had a relationship with Federation Square and the Northbridge Plaza screen in Perth to share content.

“We’ve also entered into an agreement for Discussions in Space, which is an opportunity for us to be interactive with the community,” she said.

“We’ll be doing some of that on launch day.

“A question will go up on the screen and anyone in the area just has to SMS or tweet and their responses go up on the screen.”

Ms Sprague said the screen would be “very community-based”.

“We’re not accepting advertising at this stage. It won’t be corporately-driven,” she said.

Mayor Jim Memeti said the council would screen big events like the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Tennis Open - or the soccer World Cup. “If Australia does win a game or two, I bet you they’ll be there at three in the morning,” he laughed.

About 2000 people can comfortably fit in the space.

“If it’s a big event and people want to come, we’ll have it up,” he said.

“That’s what the people in community are talking about coming to a space where it’s theirs and enjoying an evening or an afternoon.”

Cr Memeti said the council had hired a full-time staff member who had previously worked on the screen at Federation Square.

“We could actually go and get stories made up within the community, to promote community groups and events,” he said.

Ms Sprague said hosting concerts and simulcasting them on the screen was an option.

“We’ve got the opportunity to do that if the community are interested,” she said.

“We’ve got the stage and we’ve got the ability then to mirror that up on the screen.

“All the infrastructure’s there, ready to go. It’ll be driven really by what the community wants to see.”

The community can also access new meeting spaces in the civic building.

“The council meeting space is only a chamber every second

Monday night,” Ms Sprague said.

“The rest of the time it’s available for community use. So we take bookings.”

The community can enjoy new cafes, restaurants and retail stores at the square, and the council’s service centre is more accessible.

Its call centre is now located just behind the general inquiries counter on level two.

“So when it gets particularly busy out the front, the staff out the back can easily come out and serve,” Ms Sprague said.

“We average 500 calls a day to our call centre.

“We still have our service centres at Springvale, Parkmore and we have one at Paddy O’Donoghue Centre.”

LIBRARY TURNS NEW PAGE – A BEST-SELLER

By NARELLE COULTER DANDENONG’S new library has already proved to be a best-seller with more than 35,000 people flooding through the front door in the first fortnight after it opened to the public.

Library services senior coordinator Natalie Brown said the library team had settled well into the new library and had enjoyed showing patrons some of the library’s new features.

“Patrons have been delighted to have more space to sit, read, study and use wi-fi as well as access a PC more easily,” Ms Brown said.

“Patrons love the space for children and families to sit and read in the children’s library. The discovery bar, where new technology is on display, multi-media booths and games area have also been popular.

“Staff are available to show patrons around the new library and help people get accustomed to the new spaces.”

In the first week, 17,391 people visited the library and staff were kept busy signing up 320 new members.

The trend continued in the second week with 17,846 visitors and 358 new members.

The new library is set over two levels of the new civic centre, a space of almost 2000 square metres or nearly double the old

Stuart Street library’s 1100 square metres.

More than 1487 lineal metres of new shelving house the library’s collection of 58,000 books and magazines, 12,000 DVDs, Blu-ray disks and CDs. The ground level houses the wonderful children’s corner, with low shelving, little tables and chairs, and a modern amphitheatre where children and parents can cuddle up for a story, enjoy story time sessions or a school holiday performance.

There are also banks of computers available for public use, alcoves for quiet reading and gaming booths for indiviual or group gaming.

The high tech discovery bar gives patrons a unique opportunity to “play” with the latest technology including iPads, Samsung Tab 3 tablets and Mac Book Pros.

Upstairs is the fiction and non-fiction collections, quiet spaces for study as well as computer training rooms and spaces for community gatherings.

The new library has radio frequency identification selfcheckers, so patrons can check out their own material.

The library is open Monday to Friday, 9am-9pm; Saturday, 10am-5pm and Sunday, noon-5pm.

Membership is free. For more information, phone 1300 630 920.

CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG

CIVIC CENTRE GRAND OPENING

LYON TOUCH TO CITY ICON

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ARCHITECT Carey Lyon last week stepped for the first time onto the vibrant mosaics of Dandenong’s new urban square - dubbed by council staff as the city’s “front yard”.

He liked what he saw of his creation - which also includes the monolithic library, civic centre and offices.

As he sucked in the plaza’s vast space and stirring city view, Mr Lyon, director of Lyons Architects, felt it was as inviting as he had hoped.

“This is the true centre of the project,” he says.

“It will be exciting to come here when it’s full during an event.”

The plaza, lined with prospective cafes, will gather crowds of up to several thousands for festivals such as Saturday’s grand opening.

He also points to the places to enjoy even when it’s quiet: the giant video screen, the grassy knoll and orange seating under mature pine and eucalypt trees that are expected to “trunk up” and grow shade.

The plaza’s eye-candy includes a marble, red sandstone and bluestone mosaic designed by artist Paul Carter.

Its swirls and splashes

of red, yellow and grey looks like a fabric from above, says Mr Lyon.

The theme was embroidering a community of 150-plus nations, of new arrivals and early-settler stock into this hub.

A patch of red sandstone is the “welcome mat” to the civic centre’s plaza doors.

The building’s jolting hits of red, yellow and green have been linked to the council’s logo. However, this was not a conscious choice, says Mr Lyon.

The red was chosen as a warm colour key for the community meeting rooms and activity spaces, the green as a code for the staff “breakout” spaces such as kitchenettes and balconies.

The large sandstone frontage on Lonsdale Street was a testament to the traditional solidity of civic buildings.

“You normally design for a building to last at least 50 years and with a renovation after 25 – this will certainly be used in 100 years’ time.”

Part of the design was creating two level plazas – the main one with flat paths to Walker and Thomas streets and lift access, overlooking the historic town hall and The Drum Theatre.

On Lonsdale Street, there’s a mini-plaza of dark wooden benches and chairs enclosed by retail and café outlets.

Mr Lyon says part of the brief was to diagonally link with the “revitalising” of Dandenong’s centre – Halpin Way, the government services office and the redesigned Lonsdale Street.

It was also to bring the library and council office’s services together with the community space – a synergy between the cafes, playful plaza and the library’s technology riches.

With vast tracts of exterior glazing, there’s little visual separation between the buildings’ five-star green-star indoor rooms and the outdoors.

The site is electricity-neutral – fully offsetting its grid energy intake with power generated by a convection plant at Settlers Square.

The council has also introduced a green travel plan to encourage council staff in the building to travel any way but by car.

Mr Lyon says the sustainability credentials makes the building a “leadership project” in Australia.

Architect Carey Lyon surveys his finished vision.

CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG

CIVIC CENTRE GRAND OPENING

HALL STOOD TIME’S TEST THE NEW CIVIC BUILDING HAS CHANGED THE FACE OF LONSDALE STREET. OVER 100 YEARS AGO, COUNCILLORS MADE ANOTHER BOLD DECISION AND COMMITTED FUNDS TO BUILD LONSDALE STREET’S OTHER ICONIC BUILDING, THE HISTORIC TOWN HALL. DANDENONG AND DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEMBERS CHRIS KEYS AND CARMEN POWELL RECALL THE CONTROVERSY.

IN 1890 it was ambitious for council to build the Dandenong town hall.

The Shire of Dandenong boasted only 647 ratepayers and there was some bitter opposition to the proposal. Council and the Mechanics Institute Committee, two of the town’s most important community organisations, were at loggerheads over the issue – and it was all over the 5/- (shillings) a week rental that the Mechanics Institute felt it was being deprived of by council. Matters weren’t helped when in 1887, council proposed that the Mechanics Institute Committee should transfer its prime central site on Lonsdale Street to council for new public buildings.

Instigator shire secretary, engineer and treasurer John Keys

MLA was confronted by a strong and vocal opposition group headed

by Henry Powis who fought the proposal at every turn.

However, John Keys was arguing from a position of strength; he was the voice of council, a member of the Mechanics Institute Committee, and as the local member of Parliament was able to extract a £2000 contribution from the Crown Law Department in return for including a court room in the plans. He also obtained permission for the new building to take up half a chain of Lonsdale Street.

After much controversy, the Mechanics committee finally agreed to hand over the prized location in return for the right

to the whole upper floor and in consideration of council taking over its debt.

Architects Beswicke and Hutchins, who had already designed impressive town halls for Malvern, Hawthorn and Brighton, were commissioned to draw up plans, and on 21 January 1890 the successful tenderers, McCullock and McAlpine, signed a £9269 contract to erect the building.

“The South Bourke and Mornington Journal” (later to become the Dandenong Journal) commented: “The brick buildings will be spacious and of a very handsome design, being of brick, tucked-pointed, two storeys and having a very handsome tower on the south-west corner. The ground

floor will contain municipal chambers, court house, public hall and caretaker’s residence; while the upper storey will include a public library, reading room, billiard room and club rooms.”

As part of Henry Powis’s strong rear-guard action, he forced a poll over council’s proposal to borrow £4000 of the cost. By a strange but convenient ruling for the town hall advocates – all those who did not record a vote opposing the loan were deemed to be in favour of it. Thus, it was that the 177 ratepayers, who voted against the loan, were out-voted by the remaining 474 deemed to be in favour of it.

Although it was conceived – and achieved – in controversy, the town

hall went up ahead of schedule, and on 3 September, a banquet and a fancy dress ball were staged to mark the opening.

Ironically, the shire president, Colonel T. B. Hutton, a strong supporter of the project, almost lost the privilege of opening the building; he only scraped home by three votes in his riding election.

Henry Powis boycotted the opening, scornfully labelling the building a “white elephant”.

For 78 years, the grand old building was the home of the municipality, and for 50 years it was the centre for local justice.

In 1934, a clock was added to the 83ft tower.

In time, the upstairs Mechanics Institute section was taken over by council and in 1939-40 the building underwent a major internal reconstruction, plus a large extension at the rear. In 1968, the Municipal Offices were transferred to Clow Street.

In 2006 the town hall underwent yet another transformation when it became home to The Drum Theatre.

Fortunately, the façade of the century-old building has been largely retained, and today it still adds a distinctive note to the bustling Lonsdale Street.

Long may it continue its watch over the tremendous development that has, and is, taking place all around it.

Generous soul a well-tended rose garden, regularly buying flowers for the parish.

She also donated generously towards the church’s house-building aid projects in Vietnam and well as providing fruits and noodles for the priests.

“She gave more to others than she gave to herself,” Mr Mai says.

“The English-speaking parishioners, as well as the Vietnamese community, knew her well because she was a caring woman.

“They loved her.”

She used a walking frame and travelled the 100-metre stretch to the church by scooter with her flowers and gifts.

“We, as priests, could not stop her.”

Mr Mai, who counselled some of Ms Tran’s children after the event, said her family was numb with shock.

She is survived by five children and “a dozen” grandchildren, all living in Greater Dandenong, he said.

Detective Senior Constable Kane Taylor of Greater Dandenong CIU said

it was fortunate for neighbours that the fire had been spotted early by a speedcamera operator returning to the nextdoor Springvale police station.

Police members, who were alerted by the operator, found the unit “fully engulfed in flames”, its roof caved in.

Fire had already spread through adjoining walls to neighbouring units.

“It’s sad for everyone involved.

“Police forced entry to try and save lives and found the body.”

A SPRINGVALE grandmother who was found dead in her fire-gutted unit has been remembered for her generosity by her nearby parish.

Ann Tran, 80, was found after police had desperately woken and saved neighbours in adjoining units from the fast-spreading fire in the Buckingham Avenue public-housing village early last Thursday.

The fire appeared to start inside the

front of Ms Tran’s unit just after midnight, police said.

It is believed to be where Ms Tran, who lived alone, maintained a small shrine for daily prayer.

As of Friday, police had yet to confirm the cause of the blaze but classed it as non-suspicious.

The Reverend Martin Sang Mai paid tribute to Ms Tran during a Vietnamese-speaking mass at St Joseph’s Catholic Parish on Friday.

Plaza says it’s safe

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Plaza has cut crime and is providing “a safe and secure family environment”, centre manager Mark Tannahill says.

His comments were in response to community fears about safety raised after a man armed with a syringe stole a woman’s car from the shopping centre’s McCrae Street car park about 1.30pm on 29 March.

The victim was sitting in her driver’s seat when a man approached, opened the door, threatened her with a syringe and demanded she get out of the car.

Police said she complied, and the man got into the car and drove away.

The victim had noticed the same man loitering in the car park before the incident.

Mr Tannahill said the management strove for the plaza and the surrounding community “to be a

welcoming and safe environment at all times”.

“This is why we are undertaking a number initiatives to promote community harmony, including last month hosting community leaders, council and police to discuss ways to cross social and cultural barriers and to engage those in need,” he said.

He said the centre successfully introduced a community liaison officer last September.

“The officer has been a security guard at Dandenong Plaza for over 15 years now and works with youth in our community,” Mr Tannahill said.

“There have been fewer security incidents since his appointment, as the officer has begun creating important relationships with local youth based on mutual respect and trust.

“What this is achieving is a safe and secure family environment at Dandenong Plaza.”

Last December the Journal reported that police were helping Dandenong Plaza traders, security staff and cleaners to cut crime following a spike in issues in August.

Sergeant Duncan Bartley said crime had dropped since the community liaison officer had been in place.

“In November they had no assaults at all,” he said.

Sgt Bartley said the guard spoke with young people gathering at the plaza and listened to their issues.

“He’s getting that information, what they want, what the issues are,” he said.

“He’s feeding that back through security and to us. “The kids are becoming more respectful of what their roles and responsibilities are.”

The fluorescent vest-clad guard also moves on trouble makers.

Sgt Bartley said running forums including cleaners in safety discussions were other new initiatives.

“They’ve got something to offer, if there is an incident. If they can intervene, take notes, report what’s happening,” he said.

He said the police academy’s OPTIC program, which puts dozens of officers in training into shopping centres, would soon return to the plaza.

The stolen car is a red 2006 Ford sedan with registration number UQI 236.

Police would like to speak to a good Samaritan who tried to intervene during the robbery, but left the scene before police arrived.

Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers. com.au.

Four hurt in brawl A BRAWL in Birdwood Avenue, Dandenong, has put four men in hospital with facial injuries.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Shane Pola said the victims were working on a car in the street about 4.45pm on 23 March when three men walked past.

A verbal altercation took place followed by brawl.

Det Sgt Pola said four men, aged 18, 19, 21 and 22, were transported to Dandenong Hospital for treatment for facial injuries.

Police have spoken to two men, aged 18 and 31, about the incident but have not yet laid charges.

Det Sgt Pola urged witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cash grab home A SPRINGVALE South woman received a rude shock when she answered a knock at her door last week.

A man assaulted her and demanded money when she opened the front door of her Heatherton Road home about 1.30am on 30 March.

Kebab killers wield the mouths of doom

Chicken Breast

IRON-GUT contestants are set to embark on an unthinkable, and perhaps unsinkable, solo challenge - to eat a monstrous 1.6-kilogram, 16-inch kebab.

Four real-estate agents will be making this gastronomic sacrifice for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, part of a family fun day including a flashy car

show, silent auction and children’s entertainment.

Organiser Joanne Pollina says some have already tried the challenge with mixed and occasionally messy results - one kept it down, another didn’t.

She raised $7500 last year offering a joyride in her yellow 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder con-

vertible as one of the auction lots.

The same alluring prize is up for grabs this month, as well as a drive in a Mazda RX3 Rotary, a year’s supply of Johnny Boy’s Pizza, a year’s supply of Kebab King kebabs and $500 worth of car detailing.

Car buffs are also invited to enter a car show.

Bidding ex-principal Bea Boardman a fitting farewell MISS Annie Beatrice (Bea) Boardman, a former principal of Dandenong Girls High School during the 1960s, passed away on 9 February having reached the age of 104.

A funeral service was held for Bea Boardman at Le Pine Chapel in Dandenong and was attended by family, friends and former students, including a number from Dandenong Girls High School. This school in earlier days was located in Cleeland Street, Dandenong, and later became known as Cleeland High School.

Miss Boardman’s nephew Laurie Smith, who described his aunt as a “remarkable woman” wrote the following tribute: My aunt, Bea Boardman, was fondly remembered by a number of ex-students, some of whom spoke at her funeral service and she was seen

MY VOICE A MOMENT WITH

MARG STORK to have made a significant contribution to young people’s lives throughout her teaching career. Her influence has been described as inspirational, helping shape many a career and scholarly pursuit, and she enthusiastically passed on her many and varied interests to others, particularly her passion for music.

Miss Boardman also helped open up possibilities for women to take on senior roles within education at a time when this was uncommon and resisted by many. She was known as an independent thinker and a pioneer in more

ways than one. One example fondly remembered was her innovative use, way back in the 1960s, of a small electric car to help navigate the long corridors of the Dandenong school, sometimes with the odd staff member or pupil hitching a ride on the back. This unique vehicle, along with its driver, was once featured on the front page of the Melbourne Herald evening newspaper.

Her teaching career spanned many decades at secondary schools right around Victoria including Rochester High, MacRobertson Girls, Warrnambool, Leongatha, Seymour, Nunawading, Flemington and Williamstown High. At several of these, she was senior headmistress.

Bea, as she was known to many of her friends, was born to parents Arthur Reginald and Florence Maude in Armadale, Victoria, on the 1 October 1909.

She grew up with her younger sister Mabel in Prahran, attended Hawksburn Primary Scchool and University High School, and completed a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Education at the University of Melbourne. Along the way, Bea played hockey for Uni High, represented Victoria, and achieved an Australian Hockey Blue while playing for Melbourne University.

Bea was also an accomplished cellist and played in a number of local groups and orchestras both in and around Dandenong and the nearby hills. She taught the cello and accompanied many other musicians on the piano. She also had a keen interest in the Dandenong Festival of Music and Art. For most of her retirement years, Bea lived in the Dandenong Ranges for which she had a love and she also had a passion for gardening and travel. She lived independently

Cranbourne’s Barry Jones, who will now be vice-president of one of the biggest sub-branches in the state, said a 70 per cent “yes” vote was required from both sides at meetings held last Sunday week. “Ninety-nine per cent of Cranbourne RSL members voted yes while 83 per cent Dandenong agreed, Mr Jones said. “This is a clear signal they both saw the benefits of merging”.

No security for youth

By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG magistrate has lashed out at a state department’s refusal to place a 16-yearold ward of the state who had a psychotic episode into secure welfare.

At a Dandenong Children’s Court bail hearing on Monday, Jack Vandersteen said the boy, who has been staying at an out-of-home residential unit, was sniffing glue, which may have caused the the psychotic episode.

The boy was also in an “in-

timate relationship” with a 14-year-old girl, and the unit’s staff often didn’t know where he was, Mr Vandersteen said.

“You mean to tell me ... that is not enough for secure welfare at this stage?”

The boy’s case manager told the court that the Department of Human Services concluded a secure welfare placement was not appropriate.

The case manager said the boy was at “chronic risk but had sporadic engagement with the unit”.

He had also been invited back

to attend a secondary school. Mr Vandersteen said the boy needed help, yet he was being kept in “the current regime which doesn’t work”.

“And (the DHS) say he should be OK.” He asked the case manager if she knew if there were available secure-welfare beds; she replied she did not know.

Mr Vandersteen granted the boy bail, not wanting to put him into youth detention for the third time.

The boy’s bail conditions included a night curfew, with

regular reporting to the court. “If your girlfriend says she wants to see you, you say no.”

A DHS spokesman last week said secure welfare was for “vulnerable young people” in the child protection system who were at “significant risk of harm”.

The two 10-bed facilities one for boys, and one for girls - are locked for intensive supervision and treatment.

“It is not designed as a youth prison - on the contrary, the aim is to return the young person to their community placement as

soon as possible,” the spokesman said.

“If the court decides young people facing criminal charges need to be securely contained, they can be remanded to youth justice facilities.”

According to a DHS website, the risk of harm to others or to property does not “on its own, constitute grounds for admission”.

In cases of serious mental illness, the child should be referred to a mental health service, the website advises.

many people from the community come out.”

Treasure Trunk raises about $60,000 a year.

“Every cent of that money comes back to Wallara to support people with a disability,” Ms Burke said.

And the store provides Wallara clients with more than just money. A support coordinator helps them become volunteers behind the counter and on the shop floor, to pick up retail and general living skills.

“We have four every day, and four community people,” Ms Burke said.

“It comes back to those skills that they learn. It’s about becoming part of the community.”

A COMMUNITY forum to discuss proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act that critics say strips away protections against racial hate speech will be held in Dandenong on Wednesday.

Isaacs MP and Shadow Federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has organised the “town-hall style meeting”, inviting migrant and community groups.

It is thought to be so far the only meeting of its sort on the issue in Victoria.

“No doubt many members of your community are worried about what these changes might mean for them, or uncertain about the exact nature of the government’s proposal,” Mr Dreyfus wrote in an open invitation letter.

“Despite the importance of this issue to communities across Australia, the government is not organising any public hearings, consultations, or information sessions, and has allowed only a few weeks for submissions.

The rally is at Greater Dandenong Civic Centre, 225 Lonsdale Street, Dandenong on Wednesday, 7pm.

RSVP: 9769 1955 or mark.dreyfus.mp@aph. gov.au by Tuesday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR the war would have ended at least a year earlier and Turkey would have been spared a further three years of war.

Richard Bailey, Dandenong

Turkey declared war JOHN Glazebrook’s claims (Journal 24 March) that the Allied invasion of Turkey in 1915 was unwarranted and the campaign was a comprehensive defeat and that most Australians did not support the WWI effort are quite untrue.

It was Turkey that declared war on the Allies and not the reverse.

In the course of the Gallipoli campaign, Turkey suffered over three quarters of a million casualities. Allied casualties were about half this figure. And whereas the Allies were able to absorb their losses and fight on to victory, the Turkish Army stumbled on to eventual disintegration and defeat.

In 1914, almost all Australians supported the Allied cause but inevitably as time went on an increasing number felt that Australia had done enough. Nevertheless in 1917 the great majority still supported Australia’s participation - the issue was over whether this should extend to sending conscripts overseas to fight.

The Allied failure at Gallipoli was a tragedy all round for had Turkey been defeated in 1915,

Bigotry promotion THE Federal Attorney-General’s comments that “people have the right to be bigots” (Dandenong Journal, 31 March 2014) shows that the Australian Parliament has a serious leadership deficit.

The promotion of bigotry and prejudice by the Abbott Government is in breach of international law and some aspects of the universal United Nations Human Rights conventions.

The Abbott Government’s planned changes to the Racial Discrimination Act is an unwarranted attack on multiculturalism and solidarity in the community.

The only people who will support the Abbott Government’s plans to give more licence to bigotry are xenophobics.

People should be aware that this is happening at the same time as the Abbott Government is planning to bring in austerity budget cuts, even though unemployment is growing, when business confidence is down, and at the same time that economic growth is slowing.

So instead of the community looking at the policy failures of Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey, the Federal Government now plans to divide the community with its unwanted changes to the Racial Discrimination Act. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills

THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN Thumps Up Springvale Basketball Club a big thumbs up. Grassroots club since 1958 with over 35 teams, has helped many children and adults enjoy the game.

More restaurants needed I WOULD like to point out that for a city that is supposed to be multicultural, we have not set out to be just that.

I would suggest that a walk or a simple drive around Dandenong, you will automatically understand what I mean. With the exceptions of junk food such as pizzas, McDonald’s and KFC the majority of places offer Indian, Middle Eastern and Sri Lankan cuisine.

Although I love the mix, Dandenong needs more Italian restaurants, to create an atmosphere similar to Acland Street, Lygon Street and Knox

City. Also pubs need to be updated with a better class of food - let’s have more fish and chips similar to the one in Acland Street, St Kilda, and Ivanhoe, also classy burger places like the one in Eltham or Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.

Let’s invite music artists to play at restaurants and pubs like it’s done in Barklay Street, St Kilda.

Dandenong youths and the middle-aged generation end up spending money at these venues to obtain a bit of entertainment and premium dining.

Also there is a lack of vegetarian restaurants in Dandenong such as the Veggie Bar located in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy.

There is a lack of bakeries that make wood fire style bread. Heritage Hill in McCrae Street could have a bakery in there creating a buzz.

Dandenong is a ghost town in the evening and it definitely needs a better atmosphere, to bring life and variety.

As another example, have a look at Abbey Road in Acland Street in St Kilda on a Friday night, also Claypot in Barklay Street, St Kilda, on a Friday night and Saturday afternoon or Saturday night.

Also on a Saturday night, check out Santa Ana Spanish tapas restaurant in Acland Street, St Kilda, and the buzz of young people at the Knox shopping centre and food precinct.

A long time ago a politician wanted to make Dandenong Melbourne’s second city. Unfortunately it’s far from it.

We have inherited heavy traffic from all the trucks during the day thanks to the explosions of industrial zones.

Werribee and Hoppers Crossing have developed much faster than us here in Dandenong. We had the potential to make something spectacular with all that empty land we had on Cheltenham Road opposite the Dandenong train station, but it was used to build houses on it.

Even the huge land where the GMH factory was situated, we could’ve had the biggest shopping centre in Australia like the one in Dubai.

We could’ve been the best, instead the GMH land became the home of a white elephant (Masters) and more industrial space as if we don’t have enough of it.

Where is Dandenong heading? Please let me know.

Con Zonno, Dandenong.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Hospital security rules ‘misleading’, Journal, 31 March.

SO a security guard is fired for doing his job and protecting staff. Maybe, if the patient didn’t assault a doctor, the security guard wouldn’t have had to intervene. If he didn’t do anything to prevent the assault from continuing, he would be considered negligent in his duties. Security guards are always scapegoats. It’s simple - if you don’t want security to touch you, don’t give them a reason to.

Hospital guard, via web.

RE: Motivated to inspire, Journal, 31 March.

NEED more people like you in this world who like to give back to the community. Keep up the good work as it inspires me, and I’m sure many others in this world, to be better and to also give back to the community.

Rubina Janmohammad, via web.

WITH more people like you, we will be united and helping others and letting each other up, instead of focusing on the financial outcome.

Anas, via web.

HATS off to you for this wonderful effort, Saba Karim! Keep up the good work of inspiring others; you are indeed reciprocating the goodness of the local community. Congratulations on this initiative, hope it will touch millions of hearts around the globe!!!

Tanisha Amyn, via web.

What name would you like to see given to Dandenong’s new civic square?

Mayor Jim Memeti has put forward Opportunity Square as one suggestion, but the council will be seeking public opinion before making a decision.

Castle well-grounded

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A PRIMARY school has cast its fund-raising net afar to build a boldly-named ‘community castle’ on its school grounds.

Dandenong West Primary School needs $7500 to bring the project to fruition, which is to transform an old shelter shed into a burgeoning workshop for school dads and other men to ply their trade.

In their current, humble setting without power or plumbing, a professional tradesman is teaching handy-skills to up to 10 men.

The school hopes that soon the fully-kitted workshop will attract more of its students’ fathers into the school.

It would be powered, have plumbing and be stocked with tools for the men to tinker, learn

skills, interact with and teach students.

There are plans for the men to install a pre-loved cubby house and build a pizza oven for the school.

The tools will also be available to be taken out to repair jobs at their homes and in the wider community.

Principal Bev Hansen says many in the school community don’t have the disposable income to fund the project, so the website was a way of reaching a “broader audience”.

By Thursday last week, the school had raised close to $6000, pledged by 97 supporters on the website pozible.com.

The pledging period expires this Friday.

Ms Hansen says the castle is part of creating a community

Chicken Breast (SKIN ON)

hub at the school - one that will draw in more parents and the wider pool of residents.

The school also runs a cooking class for mums, adult English-language classes, a women-in-leadership program and driving lessons for parents.

Ms Hansen is one of the forerunners of the It’s Just A Postcode program, which aims to defy a stigma held by outsiders to Dandenong West.

The program’s founders want to reverse the notion that a postcode is “the most powerful determinant” of student success.

Ms Hansen told the Journal last year: “Where you live doesn’t determine what your destiny is going to be.”

Funds boost for kids AT-RISK kids in Greater Dandenong are receiving support to grow through Southern Cross Kids’ Camps.

Bank of Melbourne’s Neighbourhood Fund provided a $15,658.65 grant to the organisation, which runs an annual camp called Endeavour for children aged 7 to 11 from Greater Dandenong.

In its latest grant round, the fund distributed about $63,000 to organisations and projects working to improve the lives of Victorian communities.

The focus is on smaller groups that attract little government funding and might not be able to generate significant fund-raising income.

Southern Cross Kids’ Camps (SCKC) empowers children to overcome the impacts of abuse, neglect and abandonment through mentor and respite programs.

Each child is paired with a buddy at the start of camps, who ensures their safety.

Rolling out all-abilities

By CASEY NEILL YOORALLA has got the ball rolling on a new program at its Noble Park day support service.

Manager Louise Metz had been looking for a community-based activity with a sporting focus that would enable clients to socialise with people outside the service.

With a $1500 grant from Yooralla’s You Can Innovation Fund and support from Noble Park Community Centre, Bowls Victoria and Springvale Rotary Club, she’s established an all-abilities bowling program.

“Bowls Victoria provided us with advice on suitable equipment and various games and methods that could be used to accommodate the needs of participants with a range of disabilities,” Ms Metz said.

The grant funded two sets of ‘new age bowls’, which are similar to lawn bowls, but lightweight and made from soft material that’s easy for clients to grip.

The Yooralla team also bought PVC piping and worked with clients to cut and sand it to make bowling ramps.

Together they came up with a

team name - The Kookaburras designed and voted on a logo and had team T-shirts printed.

“For clients it has increased their confidence, through being involved in another activity they are good at and enjoy,” Ms Metz said.

“Clients also have a sense of ownership from being involved in the process of setting it up.

“As staff, we have learned that there are lots of community groups out there, ready and willing to assist people with disability.

“It’s simply a matter of reaching out and tapping into that enthusiasm.”

The program’s been so successful that Ms Metz hopes other disability services in the area will adopt it and form a local competition.

The You Can Innovation Fund is a new Yooralla initiative designed to help staff develop innovative and creative solutions that promote human rights, empowerment and engagement, and improve the quality of life of people with disability and their families.

THE Dandenong Journal was chuffed to get a mention in State Parliament last week.

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula raised concerns about the abandoned Southvale Primary School site.

“In an article in the Dandenong Journal in November last year the (Education) Department was unable to shed any light on the site’s future,” he said.

“Not even embarrassing media coverage complete with photos of the trashed school has spurred the department into action.”

THE Journal editor was impressed with one correspondent’s thrifty use of an envelope. The well-used envelope had originally been sent to the correspondent by a charity.

He then used the back of the envelope for a shopping list, before readdressing it and sending a letter to the editor to the Journal office. The letter itself was neatly hand-written on the back of a piece of paper originally issued

by a community training college in Queensland.

REGULARS at Cornerstone Contact Centre in Dandenong could be appearing on TV screens around the country later this year.

Several weeks ago, the Journal heard that SBS was sending a film crew to the service for a documentary about legalising marijuana.

A confidentiality agreement meant co-ordinator Don Cameron was unable to comment, but did confirm that television crews had paid them a visit. “I believe they hope it airs later this year”.

NOBLE Park teens will share their views live on air during National Youth Week, 4 to 11 April.

The Berry Street School students will team up with youth radio station SYN FM to shed light on what they’re up to between classes and schoolwork after completing SYN’s radio training course Schools on Air. MORE than 1500 people flocked to last week’s Sustainability Festival at Dandenong Market.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan said the attendance showed that the Greater Dandenong community was “hungry for more events like this”.

“I had many residents say how much they enjoyed the festival and how worthwhile it was, and they asked if it will become a yearly event - which I think it should be,” he said.

DANDENONG disability support service Wallara will soon make a regular appearance on Channel 31.

Clips from its television project WallaraTV will air on the station as fillers and could be strung together into a 30-minute program.

The content currently appears on the Wallara website and explores projects, activities and its clients’ lives.

SPRINGVALE shopping strip footpaths need a shake-up, councillor Sean O’Reilly told the last council meeting.

He said shoppers were forced to sidestep homewares and clothing displayed on footpaths, disrupting pedestrian flow.

Do you agree? Email journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au.

COUNCILLOR John Kelly’s response to his turn during the last councillor report and question time elicited laughs from the gallery.

He informed mayor Jim Memeti he had nothing to report.

“I’ve done nothing,” he said.

CITY of Greater Dandenong could have been called Heatherton City Council, had it not been for former councillor Frank Houlihan.

Mayor Jim Memeti said a firedup Frank told then-Premier Jeff Kennett in no uncertain terms that the name was unsuitable.

A MAN facing Dandenong Magistrates’ Court without a lawyer asked for a further adjournment so he could find legal representation.

But when the magistrate asked if he had a lawyer lined up, he instead gave the name of someone willing to pay for a lawyer for him and asked for six to eight weeks to organise it.

The Magistrate told him he had to return in four, “when you’ll be represented by your mysterious lawyer”.

“WE celebrate New Year every week in the City of Greater Dandenong.”

Mayor Jim Memeti reported his attendance at an Afghan New Year celebration at the last council meeting, and said Cambodian New Year was coming up.

“I went to 20 in Springvale for Chinese New Year!

Keeping calm

By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS BARRISTER Michael Kuzilny regularly practises both meditation and the law in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.

He says he’s learnt to detach himself from the never-ending woe heard before the courts; sometimes closing his eyes for inner sanctuary during a hearing.

“I haven’t had an unhappy state of mind since I started meditating 20 years ago.

“You don’t mind what happens - you could get news you’ve got six months to go and you just accept it.”

Mr Kuzilny, who hosts Channel 31’s Tough Times Don’t Last, says he has known of police colleagues who have commited suicide under the weight of life and job stresses.

Workers in courts are often “down” and in too much of a rush to stop, smile and say hello, he says.

He himself had got weighed down by death threats and death scenes, until a horrific night on the beat as a Frankston-based policeman.

In his e-book Meditate or Go Crazy!, he writes how in that night he interviewed a crying mother whose five children under 10 had died in a car crash.

He also locked up 15 violent drunks, got bashed in a pub and went to four other serious car crashes.

He delivered news to parents that their teenage daughter had commited suicide, and received news of an ex-cop who left a suicide note next to his badge and shot himself in the heart.

Barrister Michael Kuzilny.

To round off the night, his fiancée told him she was seeing someone else.

He writes he took time off and went through his “own self-pity party” before being introduced to meditation.

When he doesn’t meditate it’s like he loses his “protective armour”, he said.

He says his 32-page book gives the “gift of stillness”. It is available online.

Midnight footpath robbery witness call POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a robbery on Stud Road, Dandenong, on 19 March.

A Mooroopna man, 28, was walking on the footpath 100 metres south of David

Street about 12.30am when two men approached and one asked for a cigarette.

The second man then grabbed the victim from behind and demanded money.

The victim handed over his

wallet. The thieves removed cash from it and threw the wallet on the ground.

Comedy class of her own

By CASEY NEILL COMEDIAN Tegan Higginbotham credits a Cleeland Secondary College teacher with setting her career path which has put her on television screens across the country.

In the midst of this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the 26-year-old last week told the Journal that Robert Lloyd enroled her and several classmates in the festival’s Class Clowns contest in 2005.

Tegan reached the final and has performed at the festival every year since.

“Before you know it you’re performing five nights a week in pubs,” she said.

“I still find it terrifying but if it goes well you can feel like you can fly for a little while, so it’s amazing.”

Tegan spent the first 21 years of her life in Dandenong - in Herbert Street - and was schooled at Dandenong Primary School and Cleeland, which has since merged with Dandenong High School.

“I loved it,” she said.

“I was a tomboy. I don’t know if that was the result of the suburb or my dad wanted a son and didn’t have one.

“One comment I get is that I tend to swear a lot in my comedy, and I don’t know if that’s a Dandenong thing.

“I know that Dandenong has this reputation and I, of course, use that in my comedy because it’s a funny reputation, but when you grow up in a place it’s all you know.”

Tegan didn’t even realise how multicultural her home was until she started touring.

Wagga Wagga in New South Wales was one of her first stops.

“I remember thinking ‘everybody here is white Australian’,” she said.

“I kind of missed the differences.

“It’s such an interesting and big place.”

Her latest show Game Changer is the third in a sports-themed trilogy and explores newer sports around Melbourne - like lingerie league and pole dancing.

“Sport and comedy tend to go hand in hand quite easily,” she said.

“There are a lot of ridiculous things in sport.

“Pole dancing trying to become pole sports is ridiculous.”

Tegan’s dream was to become a serious actress but she’s found comedy a perfect fit.

“You have more control in comedy.

“You can think of something and perform it that evening,” she said.

“In acting there’s a lot of waiting for someone to call you.

“I would love to look back into that direction, but I’m having so much fun with comedy.”

She’s getting a taste of acting through television’s Have You Been Paying Attention and Spicks and Specks.

But the comedy festival is keeping her busy for now, with 22 shows in three and a half weeks.

“Everybody just starts popping vitamins,” she said.

“You just become paranoid that you’re going to get sick all of a sudden.

“But it’s lonely once it’s over.”

Game Changer is on in Portland Hotel’s Gold Room, corner Russell and Little Collins streets, Melbourne, at 7.15pm until 20 April.

Tickets are available from comedyfestival.com.au.

Streets get rubbished

By CASEY NEILL RUBBISH is littering central Dandenong streets - and its residents are responsible.

Amelia Poole travels streets between Cleeland and Stud roads on her five-minute drive to work.

“I can see up to five or six houses on the one block with hard waste out the front,” she said.

“The state of some of these streets is absolutely disgusting at the moment.

“It just gets strewn everywhere.

“It’s really quite frustrating as a person who’s a bit of an environmentalist. I don’t like waste going into the wrong channels.”

Ms Poole said the piles included household waste plus televisions, couches, chairs, printers, mattresses and carpets.

One morning she even saw a pile of old guttering on the side of the road - in front of the house it had obviously come from.

“No-one’s taking it away,” she said.

“Not the council, not the people that are living there.

“It’s kind of no-one’s problem.

“It’s a bit unfair for people who are doing the right thing.”

Ms Poole said it was hard to prove who had dumped the waste.

“But some of it’s pretty obviously dumped by the people who live there,” she said.

She said people could donate useful items to opportunity shops or dispose of rubbish through the City of Greater Dandenong’s hard waste collection.

Residents can call and lock in a time for their waste to be picked up.

“You don’t have to wait for a yearly collection,” Ms Poole said.

Amelia Poole is frustrated with piles of rubbish like this in central Dandenong. 117857 Picture: ROB CAREW “I think it’s good for a suburb like Dandenong. There are a lot of people on leases, it’s more transient.

“I think maybe people in Dandenong aren’t informed of that. There are a lot of people who can’t speak or read English, or have just moved into the area.

“I think there are some people who just don’t care, knowing no-one can prove they put it there.”

Ms Poole has reported waste piles to council in recent months, and said the council had removed them and placed warning stickers there.

“The same block of flats had more stuff after that,” she said.

“They’re obviously not getting the message.

“Maybe there does need to be more education provided.”

She said the Revitalising Central Dandenong project was improving the area, but this issue was holding it back.

“Obviously something’s got to change,” she said.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan said residents in central Dandenong regularly contacted him about the issue.

“They want to live in streets that are neat and tidy - that is not too much to ask,” he said.

“The targeted education program that the council is currently piloting is welcome progress, but greater resourcing is needed by council in hot spot areas to catch and penalise offenders.”

Cr Kirwan said the council encouraged residents to report hard rubbish dumping, but there was so much dumping in hot spot areas that there needed to be greater council monitoring.

“We can’t and should not rely on residents like Amelia to investigate large numbers of streets and report a large number of incidents for us,” he said.

Bin thinkin’: it’s your choice NEW bins will roll out across Greater Dandenong from July, and residents have the power to pick them.

The Great Bin Swap is designed to get people thinking about their household waste and increase recycling, and to replace bins past their use-by date.

Residents now have six bin options to choose from, featuring various recycling, garage and garden size combinations.

The default option for homes is a 120-litre garbage bin and 240-litres each for recycling and green waste.

Engineering services director Bruce Rendall said people could choose the size that best suited their needs and the smaller the bin, the lower the cost.

However, an increase in the State Government’s landfill levy means a slight overall increase to the council’s garbage charge.

Mr Rendall said the ageing bins had burdened the council with repair costs, and it was more efficient to replace them all than on a bin by bin basis.

The council will collect the old bins to be recycled into new products and won’t be emptying them after the nominated collection date.

The new bins will also bring the municipality into line with the standard colours of yellow for recycling, red for garbage and green for garden waste, to aid wider recycling education campaigns.

Residents have until 21 April to choose their new waste, recycling and garden bins. Visit www.greaterdandenong.com/greatbinswap for more information.

WE LOVE IT

DINGLEY VILLAGE ’Heaven on earth’ It’s often said that once you move to Dingley Village, you’ll never leave... This home lives up to that promise and more. It’s almost too hard to decide where to begin. It’s big enough for the largest of families, has multiple living areas, enjoys zoned bedrooms upstairs including a relaxing master bedroom with ensuite and spa and best of all there is a secure in-ground swimming pool that’s overlooked by a timber decking as well as an undercover alfresco and plenty of yard space.

Quite simply, the agent says, this home can only be described as heaven on earth, and it’s ready to be yours.

Quietly positioned in one of the best streets in the area, you’ll love coming home to this gem. Make your way inside to be welcomed by a sunken formal living and dining - a spectacular spot to entertain guests or enjoy a glass of wine. As you head further in, you’ll be in awe of the space and number of rooms that flow from one end to the other. The well-lit kitchen is complemented by timber finishes, plenty of bench and cupboard space and a dishwasher. It all overlooks the family meals area which flows into the rumpus room. At the rear is an additional living area with an enclosed fireplace, and it all has secure access to both the alfresco area and swimming pool.

Head upstairs to find the haven you and your family have been craving. The first three bedrooms all have built-in robes and ceiling fans. The master is exceptionally spacious, boasts large mirrored built-in robes, a ceiling fan and a full ensuite is where you’ll be able to relax in the spa all-year round. Outdoors is the perfect mixture for young and old - the home is situated on a block size of 565m2 (approx), there’s plenty of yard space for kids or pets to roam freely, plus you can easily host any sized celebration in any weather condition. Notable extras in this home include evaporative cooling, gas ducted heating, an alarm, a double lock-up garage, water tank and multiple sheds.

You’ll be astonished at how well located this home is. You’re mere moments from Kingswood Golf Club, a short trip to DFO and you’re within walking distance to multiple parks and reserves. Best of all, you’re centrally positioned to numerous primary and secondary schools within the area including Haileybury and Lighthouse colleges. You can bring the family, stay for years to come and know you’ll never have to move because everything is so close to home. Want to move into lucky number 8 - take the leap and enjoy the rest of your years here in this heavenly home.

The estate is in a central Carrum Downs location with established nature strip trees, flora and greenscape abutting parkland and conservation reserve for all the family to enjoy.

Surrounded by established lifestyle amenities including shopping centres, parks, restaurants, schools and Port Phillip, Wattlewood is close to everything the new owner would need making it an ideal location to build a dream home.

New home construction opportunities are available as are covenants to protect the investment.

Think tank on track

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THEY’RE young, articulate and passionate for change.

Arif, Arnold, Ky and Robina are part of Greater Dandenong Council’s youth-services think tank.

Their voices are resonating in the ears of politicians and council officials as well as their peers.

The Greater Dandenong Youth Think Tank provides a forum for local young people to discuss and share ideas about important issues that impact on young people.

Its 15 participants provide advice and feedback to local, state and federal governments and other relevant organisations on important issues.

And they don’t mind rattling the cage.

Albert spoke out at a youth employment forum last year about employers whose racial discrimination was cruelly affecting young jobseekers’ chances.

The comments made front-page news on the Journal and led to kudos from his peers.

The good news was that after the forum, some of the long-frustrated participants landed jobs.

“But more needs to be done,” says Albert.

The four inspire one another. They want to inspire more young people to get involved, to find their voices - the last thing they want is for their think tank to be a goldfish bowl.

Ky rails against the “misconception that young people don’t care about the world going on around them”.

“Young kids care about the future and how they, as a community of young people, can resolve that.

“The level of engagement is rising.”

On the think tank, the 15 members survey other young people and plough

their ideas into three identified local issues - homelessness, community safety and jobs.

The crew recently presented to Greater Dandenong Council’s community safety committee, advocating the need for more street lights and youthtargeted programs.

“We have to work on the perception of Greater Dandenong in the media,” Arif says.

“Community safety is not as bad as portrayed and perceived.”

They have also broadened their gazes onto state, national and international affairs. Ky and Robina want to work for the United Nations.

Robina is part of a Youth Affairs Council Victoria cabinet of young people who are incubating policy ideas ahead of the state election.

They are set to pitch agenda items such as mental health and sexuality.

Locally she sees the need to build relations between people of different backgrounds.

Recently Arif and Ky were among 60 young people who hurtled questions on international affairs at a panel of young leaders at Mordialloc College on 28 March.

Arif’s insights on the plight of refugees and asylum seekers were born from close experience.

They impressed panellist Laura John, who is gathering views of young people as Australia’s youth representative to the United Nations.

He was the only one in the forum’s room to know when the last asylum seeker was processed on-shore in Australia.

There had been none since 19 August 2012; since that time 30,000 people would have been processed had there not been this policy of “deliberate delay”, according to Arif.

Youth Think Tank members, from left, Arif, Ky, Albert and Robina.117942 Picture: ROB CAREW “I come from a background where people don’t have access to justice so I’ve always wanted to serve people.”

Ky, who is studying politics and developmental studies, aims to work for the UN but says: “If you want to build a better world, you start in the local community and build upwards.”

Arnold, studying youth work, wants to work “hand in hand” with young

people with migrant backgrounds in Greater Dandenong.

Since July, these ambitious members have been spurring each other into more action and ideas.

They are excited by the doors that have already opened.

Robina says: “If the start of this is so huge, the future will be even brighter.”

Aquariums & Reptiles

No plans for derelict school yet THE State Government still won’t reveal plans for the abandoned Southvale Primary School site.

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula in Parliament asked Education Minister Martin Dixon about the disused Noble Park schoolgrounds on Athol Road which were closed in 2012.

“Graffiti covers every wall, windows have been smashed and old broken furniture is scattered throughout,” he said.

“The site has become a gathering place for people who are up to no good.”

Mr Pakula said the site was having a negative impact on the local community and asked Mr Dixon why it was in its current state, why community safety issues had not been addressed and when plans for the site would be revealed.

Mr Dixon said he would follow up and get back to Mr Pakula “because I am not aware of it”.

Last November the Journal reported that the Education Department had declared the land surplus, so was required to offer it to other government departments, then the City of Greater Dandenong and finally the public.

The department would not confirm what stage the process was at, but the council confirmed it had not been approached about the site.

Connecting people and communities

Memory on their mind SPRINGVALE seniors shared food and stories from their homelands last week, with memory in mind.

Alzheimer’s Australia Victoria held the Tastes to Remember event at Springvale Town Hall on 1 April.

Diversity officer and event organiser Claire Emmanuel said the event brought together over-65s from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities to share cultural food, discuss the traditions and rituals surrounding them and reminisce over stories from their homelands.

Representatives from the Mauritian, Serbian, Vietnamese and Ukranian-speaking communities each performed, there were presentations

about memory changes and dementia risk reduction strategies.

“They enjoyed each other’s cultural food,” Ms Emmanuel said.

“They enjoyed the presentation and so they are more informed about what services are available for them.”

She said participants learnt about how to contact the City of Greater Dandenong, Monash Health and Centrelink for assistance, including respite services and carer payments.

The council provided a grant to help run the event which is designed to raise awareness about dementia and support services.

Petition’s clear message ALMOST 90 people signed a petition calling for a ‘keep clear’ sign to be restored in Springvale South.

The City of Greater Dandenong accepted the petition at its most recent meeting.

The 87 signatories are asking Roads Minister Terry Mulder to direct VicRoads to restore ‘keep clear’ markings across all lanes at the intersection of Heatherton Road and Corio Drive.

Engineering services director Bruce Rendall said the matter was beyond the council’s power so it had sent the petition on to the relevant authority, VicRoads.

He said the council had previously raised the matter several times with no result.

“We will raise it again,” he said.

New home for dreams

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CONFLICT is a word Nyadol Nyuon is all too familiar with.

Close to two decades after her father was killed in a civil war and almost 10 years since her family first fled to Australia, another conflict in South Sudan almost claimed the lives of her mother and grandmother earlier this year.

The Noble Park law student, 26, spent weeks contacting family and friends in the capital, Juba, to help them escape the violence. “(Mum) would ask me ‘can you hear that bomb go off?’,” Nyadol said.

“It took us so long to get my grandmother out of the house because she was afraid that if she left the house she would be killed.

“There were rumours of people disappearing, or people being shot at.”

It’s just another chapter in Sudan’s bloody and chequered history.

Nyadol’s family fled the situation from neighbouring Kenya in 2005 and made their first Australian home with relatives in Noble Park.

She retains an affinity with South Sudan, which split from Sudan in 2011, and sees it as her responsibility to

challenge misconceptions of Sudanese refugees here.

Nyadol, a 2014 Australia Day state ambassador, is a member of the African Think Tank and Africa Media Australia and holds regular discussions with the Victorian police and the judiciary on behalf of Sudanese Australians.

“There was a concern that Sudanese or African youth were engaged in crime at a level that the rest of the community was not being engaged in,” she said.

But she said some reports showed the opposite to be true.

“That they are actually committing much less crimes than the rest of the community, but they were just being stopped more and questioned more frequently,” she said.

Nyadol said she didn’t set out to become a leader.

“I just do it because I find myself in a position where I can’t let the opportunity pass,” she said.

“Sometimes the least you can really do is raise someone’s consciousness to an alternative story to balance the only one they have in their head.”

In December last year, South Sudan’s current civil war broke out when a faction

of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army was involved in an alleged mutiny.

The conflict is largely along ethnic lines between the Dinka and Nuer tribes.

Nyadol is tired of the same narrative.

“It makes you wonder whether this will keep happening, over and over again, and if there will be periods of what cannot even be called peace, but for guns to go down simply so that people can get more guns,” she said.

“That’s what’s really painful, and imagining another generation of young kids going through what you went through.

“I was born and grew up in refugee camps; you don’t want another person to go through that, it’s just a useless life. You can’t dream, you can’t hope.”

In Australia, Nyadol has found a place she can do both.

“For me this is more and more home,” she said.

“It’s a feeling that I think most refugees, young people, struggle with because you’re always asking what is really home. Is it Sudan? Is it Australia?

“I know for a fact that there is a person I can be in Australia, nowhere else.”

Nyadol Nyuon is challenging misconceptions about Sudanese refugees.

We’re in car crunch central DANDENONG and Springvale are among with worst suburbs in Victoria for common road accidents.

According to the AAMI Crash Index, launched last month, Dandenong had the second highest number of nose to tail crashes in the state with 577, with only Melbourne recording more.

Dandenong and Springvale ranked second and third for collisions from failing to give way, with 400 and 301, and third and fourth for collisions while reversing, with 171 and 143.

Dandenong rated third for parked car dings with 239 and fourth for collisions with stationary objects, with 135 incidents.

The index analysed almost 250,000 accident insurance claims between October 2012 and September last year.

AAMI spokesman Reuben Aitchison said impatience was often overlooked as one of the leading factors behind collisions and could adversely affect drivers’ judgement when they need it most.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

By CASEY NEILL BOSS Products in Dandenong is leading the way in construction finishing materials.

“All our competitors are focusing on price and competing with each other in that way,” managing director Michael Boss said.

“We focus on quality and innovation. We offer a better product.”

The business held an open day for the building industry on 28 March to launch new stone cladding and metallic panelling products it’s distributing with Terraco. Boss is the exclusive Australian agent for the Swedish global leader in finishing products a long way from its start as a shoe component manufacturer in the early 1980s.

Michael’s dad Trevor started the business in Dandenong and it was among the biggest in its field before Trevor pre-empted a textile industry downturn and moved into automotive.

“About five years ago we saw the writing on the wall for that,” Michael said.

“We started in mouldings and construction. The car side of the business is still going, but is slowly dying.”

Through all the changes, Boss has remained in Dandenong.

“I grew up in North Dandenong and we’ve had factories in and around Dandenong for years,” Michael said. “It’s the perfect place to locate a business.

“All the infrastructure, close to freeways...”

Michael said the business would keep developing, growing and innovating.

Clinic’s paths to health

Unprovoked assault

By CASEY NEILL

UP to four men launched an unprovoked attack on a Dandenong North man last week.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Shane Pola said the victim, 41, was walking past 200 Lonsdale Street about 11pm on 30 March when three to four men of Islander appearance assaulted him.

He presented to Dandenong Hospital with facial injuries. Police have urged witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

PINELODGE is just one part of a psychiatric system struggling to meet demand for drug, alcohol and mental health support.

The ice epidemic has highlighted shortfalls in public services in recent months.

But the St John of God clinic on Heatherton Road, Dandenong, caters for a different demographic.

The 54-bed private hospital specialises in mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and offers in-patient and day therapy programs.

Its “gatekeeper” Ailsa, a nurse with 45 years’ experience, receives and documents up to 300 calls a month.

CEO Graham Cadd said inquiries ranged from requests for admissions from doctors and patients to calls for general advice.

“Some people just need a bit of help and guidance,” he said.

Mr Cadd said patients generally needed a doctor’s referral for admission and had to “collaborate and co-operate” with staff.

“The doors are not locked,” he said.

“We can’t make orders. We have no way of enforcing.”

He said the clinic had to be confident it could handle the patient, and this wasn’t often the case with street ice users.

“If they’re on ice they’re more chaotic,” he said.

Road safety mapped out

Pinelodge director of mission James McDonald and CEO Graham Cadd. 115337 “We’re working with a particular demographic. You’ve got to have people that fit your environment.

“There’s no point bringing people in if we can’t help them.

“Otherwise we’re gonna fail and they’re gonna fail.”

A major expansion in 2002 added 30

more single rooms, new lounge areas and group areas, and outdoor courtyards and recreation areas.

Further growth is on the cards for Pinelodge.

The clinic rents 30 car parking spaces from the church next door to meet demand, and has bought adjoining land with a view to building new facilities.

Picture: ROB CAREW Spokeswoman Sally-Ann Parker said waiting lists depended on the service patients were looking for.

She added that the private clinic was just one component of the psychiatric system.

“We’re a little tiny chip in this great big piece of work,” she said.

GREATER Dandenong residents can have their say on road safety this month.

The council is seeking community input on an updated road safety strategy it’s developing.

It’s aimed at reducing fatalities and injuries on local roads and considers the role each person can play in achieving this.

The council is asking residents to complete a short survey that asks them to identify their key road safety priorities and looks at education, behaviour and safety initiatives. It’s available at www.greaterdandenong. com or from the council’s customer services centres and libraries until Wednesday 30 April.

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

0410 802 803 ฀ ฀

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Star News Group could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Star News Group will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.

School looks to new hub

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG West Primary School is now home to one of five Community Hubs in Greater Dandenong.

The school launched the service on 14 March and the celebrations spilled into the well-attended Hemmings Street Festival.

Community Hub leader Vikki Home said the program was designed to foster a sense of belonging and helped families connect to services and build knowledge.

The Federal Government funds Community Hubs in partnership with the Scanlon Foundation, Migration Council

Australia and Refuge of Hope.

The hubs are in areas with many families from low socioeconomic, refugee or migrant backgrounds and are often in primary schools - generally a familiar and friendly place.

They link families with education, health, community and settlement services.

The Dandenong West hub hosts computer, sewing, English and literacy classes, a craft morning and playgroup.

It opened at the start of the year, joining other Greater Dandenong hubs at St Anthony’s, Springvale Rise, Dandenong and Dandenong South primary schools.

Pain of silent killer CHEST pains are not something people should ignore.

Dr Jodie Ann Senior is the Director of Cardiology at The Valley Private Hospital in Mulgrave and is one of a handfull of trained heart transplant physicians in Victoria.

The case below is typical of what Dr Senior has encountered in her long career dealing with heart disease.

“A 61-year-old man walks on the beach each day while on holidays,” she said.

“He’s usually well but doesn’t feel quite right.

“His energy is a bit low and he feels like he’s getting what he assumes is heartburn in the lower part of his chest and upper part of his stomach when he goes for a walk each morning.

“It goes away when he rests and then he feels alright.

“This happens for a while.

“The pain isn’t pain, rather he feels uncomfortable, maybe a bit tight, like there’s a pressure in the chest.

“So he doesn’t take too much notice but thinks something’s not quite right.

“The next day, he gets that same feeling but keeps walking.

“This time it becomes more intense but before he can act on it, he collapses.

“His wife is there and calls an ambulance but she doesn’t

Dr Jodie Ann Senior is the Director of Cardiology at The Valley Private Hospital in Mulgrave. know CPR and the man passes away before help can arrive.”

Dr Senior said: “We have all heard stories like this one and all know that the statistics for heart disease aren’t good.

“Heart disease is still the number one killer.

“Ten per cent of people still die from sudden cardiac death before they can get help.

“We want to bring that number down.”

Her advice is that if anyone has a pain or discomfort in the region of the chest, throat or neck, arm, shoulder, upper abdominal discomfort, especially if it relates to exertion of some kind, like walking or doing the

housework, going up inclines or stairs, or if someone finds they are avoiding those things because of these symptoms, then they should act quickly.

There is no time to lose when it comes to health and the heart, she said.

Women don’t tend to seek help early enough and they tend to go to a doctor later.

Their outcomes are not as good as for men, probably because of this delay.

She strongly advises that anyone who has anything that sounds like this should promptly let their doctor know and ask to have as assessment as soon as possible.

Gach’s dream

By JARROD POTTER AT only eight-years-old, Gach Nyuon and his family fled war-torn Sudan for a better future in Australia.

He found sport as a hobby at first, but in time Nyuon, now 17, from Springvale, found his way to the Narre North Foxes Junior Football Club and his rapid rise through the football ranks since has been astonishing.

Under the tutelage of his first coach - Peter Hoffman - Nyuon flourished and became one of the South East Juniors’ premier ruckmen even in his first year of competitive football.

“I was a soccer player from 2007-10 and then in year-nine in high school - I had a couple of mates who told me to come down to the club and register for pre-season,” Nyuon said.

“I did and started my first season at Narre North Foxes in 2012.”

Through his first season at Foxes he found his feet and - more importantly for a young ruckman - his amazing leap to gain the attention of the TAC Cup club Dandenong Stingrays and a ticket to the under-16 national championships.

That is ascension to the elite football programs which would be the envy of players everywhere.

The honour of being an AIS-AFL footballer -

the peak of junior performance in the country - is flattering, but Nyuon is humble about his talents and just wants to get on the field.

“We won the national championships last year and from that they picked the AIS team,” Nyuon said.

“I don’t really think of it to be honest - I just try to play football.”

He played his first senior match on the weekend as Narre Warren squared off in a practice match against St Bedes/Mentone Tigers and is enjoying the step up in standard.

Stingrays’ duties in the TAC Cup won’t be far off either for the young talent as AFL scouts will start to seek him out and he readily welcomes the next step up.

“Probably just making the AFL - that’s the dream,” Nyuon said.

“Hopefully get some games in the TAC Cup this season and hopefully get some games for Vic Country under-18s in the national carnival - that would be brilliant.

“Making the under-18s AIS again would be great as well.”

Nyuon wanted to thank Hoffman for coaching him, the Dandenong Stingrays and everyone associated with the AIS-AFL program.

Gach Nyuon has excelled in his limited junior football career and hopes to extend his talents all the way into the AFL. 116836 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Dandenong Stingrays could not hold out Geelong - downed by 27 points at Simonds Stadium Picture: JARROD POTTER on Saturday. 117763

By JARROD POTTER TAKING the sting out of the Dandenong Stingrays, the Geelong Falcons roused after halftime to take a 14.10 (94) to 9.13 (67) win at Simonds Stadium.

Squandering its chances in front of goal, Dandenong took the lead in the first term with a nine-shot-to-one advantage. Six behinds flew through the posts with the Stingrays unable to level out and kick straight under the crunch.

Without its AIS-AFL listed duo - captain Daniel Capiron and Tom Lamb - Dandenong struggled to hit the scoreboard cleanly and generate advantage across the field.

“I would’ve been happier if we kicked straight,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said.

“We could’ve realistically been six-goals-three with scoreboard pressure.

“We should’ve converted a

bit better than three goals but they’re the chances we didn’t take.”

Dandenong’s drive abandoned it in the third quarter as Geelong surged.

A five-goal-to-one quarter - only broken up with a Dandenong goal from Jacob Weitering - left Geelong dictating terms.

The Stingrays’ slender half-time lead was given to the Falcons and then some as their first-half initiative was abandoned.

Geelong brushed aside Dandenong late in the match to run out victors to the tune of a 27-point victory.

“Third quarter I still thought they were a bit better than us,” Black said.

“Last quarter we had a real crack of getting back into the game with a few goals to get within 11 points.

“We missed the goal and they went down the other end and kicked another… and

kicked another right on the siren.”

Captain Jack Lonie led from the front with four goals to feature in the best afield while Alex Harnett played the best game coach Black had seen him play, and Aaron Wilson and Elliot Hunt toiled all match for the club.

“Alex Harnett was really good… and Aaron Wilson was good as were Jack Lonie and Elliot Hunt,” Black said.

“Part of our program - it’s always exciting to give them their first chance at this level.”

Dandenong slips to eighth on the TAC Cup ladder and now heads to Bendigo for an early start on Saturday at 10am.

“That’s the good thing about football,” Black said.

“Disappointing result but the boys have the opportunity to bounce back quickly - we go up Friday and hope to get a good outcome on the Saturday.”

Shukokai breeds success

By RUSSELL BENNETT KARATE in the south-east just keeps going from strength to strength with a host of local martial artists excelling on the big stage recently at the Victorian State Championships.

James Davis - a star pupil at Dandenong’s Alan Murdoch Shukokai dojo - won gold in the veterans’ male Kumite, following in the footsteps of Hampton Park teenager Ngaheretia Kingi who competed in last year’s World Karate Federation Junior World Championships in Spain.

Over 200 competitors took part in this year’s Victorian State Championships. Davis had to overcome more than half a dozen opponents in his division, one being a former national champion.

“On the day I felt ok and very relaxed,” Davis told the

Journal.

“All I could think of was just getting on the mat and competing (and now) I’m hoping that my winning feeling keeps going.”

Alan Murdoch Shukokai has long had a reputation for producing world-class fighters.

Current chief instructor, Fifth Dan Sensei Ennio Anselmi said it all started with Murdoch - Shukokai’s founder.

Murdoch was awarded the Seventh Dan Black Belt on 16 April 2006 but passed away later that year after a battle with cancer. He was just 60-years-of-age.

“He was full of energy - he didn’t smoke and he was as fit as a fiddle,” Sensei Anselmi said.

“He was a lot like Tom Hafey, a close friend of his.

“Alan was a big inspiration to all of us.

“It’s not just about competing here (at Shukokai) - it’s about having the right attitude and a commitment to training all the time.”

“We’ve had a lot of gold and silver in Kumite - in fact since our master (Murdoch) passed away eight-years-ago we’ve been in the top two in Australia,” Sensei Anselmi said.

“Shukokai breeds success.”

Next up on the major events calendar is the Australian Open in Sydney from 11 to 13 April. The Shukokai Open will be held in June, followed by the Oceania Championships in September and the World Championships in November.

SPORT National Premier Leagues Victoria - round 3

Thunder Hume-iliation

Big V Division 2 - round 4

By JARROD POTTER THUNDER continued its early success in the NPL with a 1-0 win over Hume City.

A long-range rocket from captain Alan Mulcahy at the 20-minute mark put Dandenong ahead early in the first half and it would be the match-winner after a long-fought grind in the second half.

Hume City peppered the Dandenong goal - chances were close together and close to the goals as some goal-line theatrics from Faisal Safa kept almost certain goals out.

Dean Hennessey’s men clamped down in defence as Hume had all the chances in the second half.

With former Dandenong Thunder captain Shane Rexhepi controlling the play, Hume City lashed the Dandenong defence, but couldn’t break through as the final whistle blew.

Matt Millar was exceptional down the right wing - taking on Hume at any chance to provide quick-bursts throughout the match.

Midfield work from Mulcahy and Alan Kearney continued to impress and set up the likes of Keiran Dover, Brendan Craig and new Melbourne Heart Youth recruit Marcus Schroen.

Thunder coach Hennessey said he would not have believed a start like this could eventuate if you had told him so at the beginning of the year.

“We were bringing in lots of new players and it would

“First half we played really well but second half to be fair I thought Hume was on top of us, but I thought we were resilient.”

Taking lessons from its 10man defensively charged vic-

tory over Green Gully last week, Hennessey said the Thunder are used to getting men around the ball and defending tooth and nail when the time comes.

“Had a lot of practice the week before against Gully having players around the ball and we tried to make it hard for them,” Hennessey said.

“We’ve still got a lot to learn - we’ve got off to good start,

but I know this league better than most that it has an uncanny knack of pulling you back a peg or two quickly, so we won’t get too excited but it’s a good start.”

Dandenong heads to Knights Stadium on Sunday afternoon for its NPL Round 4 clash, while the local derby in NPL1 has Dandenong City take on Springvale White Eagles at Frank Holohan Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

‘How Sweet It Is’ to pink a winner

By JASON ADAMS LAST Thursday night Sandown Park joined in the Go The Pink Dog Campaign, with every winner throughout April wearing the number 8 pink vest, generating a $500 donated to the McGrath Foundation.

Sweet It Is was the first greyhound wearing the pink vest to win in April at Sandown Park, storming home and winning easily in a smart time of 42.10.

Sweet It Is was slow to begin from the wide alley and shortly after trailed the field by 15 lengths down the back straight

but was looming large approaching the home bend. Her run home time was simply superb, storming away from her competitors winning easily by six lengths.

Trainer Darren McDonald was pleased with her run and delighted with the way she pulled up.

“We were really happy with her run and the strength she showed late in the race, she pulled up tremendously too which is always a bonus” said McDonald.

Sweet It Is was only a recent addition to the McDonald kennel, having previously been trained by her breeder Len Jones.

‘Sweet It Is’ looked pretty in pink as she won for the McGrath Foundation’s Go The Pink Dog campaign. 118199 Although already having competed in three Group 1 events with Jones, Sweet It Is is yet to taste Group success, however that can all change with the RSN Sandown Cup on McDonald’s agenda.

“Yes she will be heading to the RSN Sandown Cup, we’re still not sure whether to take her

to Wentworth Park next week for the heats of the Association Cup, or just stay here in Melbourne for the Lizrene at Sandown… then of course the RSN Sandown Cup.” The $175,000 winner’s cheque for the RSN Sandown Cup would just about triple the prize money total for Sweet It Is that currently stands at $59,010.

Giants just too big

By JARROD POTTER KEYSBOROUGH’S Lady Cougars almost claimed their inaugural victory leaving Coburg to scramble back in with a 51-68 loss.

The Cougars held a three-point lead at half-time before the Giants started to rouse into life.

Single-digit quarters in the second-half ruined the chances of win number one and their first success on home court.

A 9-18 steal discrepancy hurt the Cougars in transition, but their fourth loss in Big V Division 2 women showed the best signs yet for coach Robert Ostojic and his charges.

Tamara Hewish (16 points) hit her straps from the three-point arc early shooting 4-9 - while Sarah Collins (13 points, 16 rebounds) was an immense presence in the key and led the Cougars to out-rebound the Giants 50-46.

Tamara Booth (8 points, 13 rebounds) almost snared a double-double of her own while Lucinda Johnson (8 rebounds) also stood strongly under the defen-

sive basket.

The Cougars men did not fare any better against Coburg, with Keysborough downed 79-81.

In a carbon-copy of the women’s clash, Keysborough got out of the blocks early to take a 52- 41 lead into the half-time break as Jackson Houpt (18 points, 8 rebounds) and Eric Miraflores (15 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists) was exceptional almost pushing through for a rare Big V triple-double as he fed the ball to his taller team mates Nathaniel O’Hara (13 points, 8 rebounds) and centreman Kevin Benn (5 points, 8 rebounds).

The three-point game dried up after half-time for the Cougars, with only one of their 10 long-range shots dropping while the Giants raced to a 25-17 last quarter scoring spree to take the two-point win.

Keysborough men drop to third in Big V Division 2 Men and face Keilor away on Saturday night while the women host Mornington Breakers at Springers Leisure Centre from 7pm on Saturday.

SPORT Eastern Football League - round 1

Bulls face their Demons

By JARROD POTTER

The Demons went monstrously well in front of goals in the third term as Billy Schilling and Rowan Hore kicked Montrose from deficit to advantage with three quick goals.

Seven-goals-to-two in the third term, including a last-second snap from Demons’ crumber Sam Goodman, pushed the margin out to 13 at the final change.

Noble Park held in the clash through a goal to former Dandenong Stingray Clay McCartney and experience paid off in front of goals as Stewart Kemperman, Brett Dore and Shayne Allan all picked up a pair of majors each.

Down by 31 at three-quartertime, new coach Jon Knight told his

SEASON’S start did not pan out ideally for Noble Park after a secondhalf implosion against Montrose.

Newly promoted to Division 1, Montrose stormed back into the clash approaching half-time before turning on the scramjets in the third term.

Bulls’ recruit and former junior Piva Wright (hamstring) had pinchhit successfully in the ruck and up forward through the first half, but was put on ice as a hamstring injury brought his first senior EFL match to a premature end.

It left the Bulls down a rotation and Montrose seized the advantage through the third term.

Chris Horton-Milne put his hand up early as one of the league’s rising stars with an impressive match through the Noble Park midfield.

players loudly and bluntly they had failed through the term and wanted something positive to come from the last quarter.

Noble Park found four early goals in the last term before the Demons fought back and clinched the match through a Hore crumbing goal before Goodman kicked the lucky last goal in Montrose’s first win in Division 1.

Andrew Haining locked horns with Noble’s Glen Manson in an interesting ruck battle all afternoon, but Haining would claim victory as he gave first use to the likes of coach Brett Johnson and new recruit Andrew Walker through the centre.

Chris Horton-Milne showed

he’s a force to reckon with in the EFL this season as he gutted out the match through the midfield while the Kempermans - Rob and Stewart - and Trent Robertson were listed as the best afield.

“For a start we didn’t get our hands on the footy - we turned it over and when they went forward they kicked goals and when we did we either kicked it to them or for behinds,” Knight said.

“We weren’t accountable enough going through the middle and they were really good on the spread quicker than us and keen, and showed us how to play contested footy.”

Noble Park host Lilydale on Saturday from 2.10pm.

KEYSBOROUGH will head to the bright lights of Casey Fields this Friday night with a real spring in its step after a 39-point round one victory over Doveton at Rowley Allen Reserve.

The Burra played four solidquarters of football, kicking six goals to one after half time, to record their first victory over the Doves since Round 3 in 2012.

The win sets up a huge clash with Cranbourne this Friday night, the Burra keen to replicate their three-point upset of the season against the powerhouse Eagles in the corresponding clash last year.

The Burra had eight new faces in their line-up against the Doves and looked a more polished outfit for the additions.

Richard Minney (Noble Park), Daniel Papa (Chirnside Park) and Tim Werner (Gordon) gave the Burra midfield a newlook, Minney and Papa with their ability to absorb physical pressure, while Werner’s speed made a difference.

His hunt and tackle of Doves’ defender Jake Mullen, and resultant goal, was a real highlight of an absorbing first term. Gun centre-half-forward, Tyson King, slipped Mullen to boot two first quarter goals, while Davor Rajic was another forward who was right on top.

“We’re having a real crack but our first thought must be to look before we dispose of the footy,” Keysborough coach Chris Bryan said at quarter time in regard to some costly turnovers.

“We just need to tidy things

up, stop the fumbling and work hard into the breeze. Our forwards are on top, so let’s utilise that to our advantage.”

Doveton wasted opportunities in the second quarter before the Burra took control in the second half.

Rajic with four goals, and King, Papa and Werner, with two each, were lively up forward for the winners, while Bryan, Minney, Danny Morland, Glen Hawthorn and Geoff Humphreys were superb all day. Mark Quiambao, Reece Spadaccini, Michael Downie and full-back Matt Haines gave the Doves’ forwards nothing, rounding out an impressive allround display.

Friday night’s Casey Cardinia league clash against Cranbourne kicks off at 8.15pm.

Southern Football League - round 1

Time to open fresh accounts LYNDALE opened its SFL Division 3 football account with a 37-point win over fellow Greater Dandenong team Sandown Cobras.

Only two points separated the Pumas and Cobras at quarter-time before the Lyndale effort ramped up.

Trevor Kumetaitis and Trent Day both jagged three goals and the seamless transition from cricket to football was executed by Dale Tormey (two goals), who was among the best on ground with Jayden Johnson and Brett Tosh.

For Sandown Clint Sheedy (two goals) made his return to the seniors after spending most of 2013 in the reserves while the best afield were Brad Hemphill, Brad Reiner and Jason Toan.

Happy hunting was not the case for the Redlegs, copping a 130-point drubbing at the hands of Mount Waverley.

A close clash at quarter-time turned to carnage from there as the Mountain Lions roared into life. Dandenong would only score one goal after quarter time while Mount Waverley pumped in 19.

Ryan Wigney (1 goal), Jason Hook and Dale Jose were the best of the Redlegs bunch.

Springvale Districts take its first outing on Saturday as it clashes with Oakleigh at Princes Highway Reserve in Clayton.

In SFL Division 3 Lyndale will host Dandenong in the other cross-town clash while Sandown Cobras take on Carrum Patterson Lakes away.
